Other closed fabrics

Closed woven fabrics made from glass fibres

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7019 72 00 (other closed fabrics of glass fibres) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Certain other glass fibre articles within Chapter 70 — including glass wool and chopped strand mat — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance; precise product classification remains the principal importer risk.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all articles of glass fibres: woven rovings, mats, and glass wool products classified elsewhere in heading 7019 may attract Quality Control Order coverage under separate notifications. Re-classification on customs examination — whether by fibre form, weave construction, or intended end-use — triggers retrospective compliance obligations and potential detention. Confirm the precise product specification against the customs tariff before treating the absence of compliance as settled.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7019 72 00 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

Open fabrics of glass fibres are classified under a distinct tariff line within heading 7019 and may attract different or additional compliance requirements under Chapter 70.
